Go to a pet store and buy 5 or 10 single serving flavors of decent quality. Might be $10-15 for the experiment to land on something they like. Plan and accept that a lot of it will be thrown out. They also might love it, but not day 2 when refrigerated.
I was not asking for advice. You are not giving me new ideas.
I tell you I feel this comment. Sums up my experience with Lemmy perfectly. Just unending unasked for advice. This whole website is basically made up of old guys at a bowling alley who try to teach everybody how to bowl against their will.
Have you tried a bunch of different brands? I’ve found that my younger cat will eat a mix of any wet with the dry food without any real preference, but my old cat will only eat 2 or 3 kinds of wet food from 2 manufacturers.
Also get them something better than Purina. I’m sure that Purina dry kibble is full of carbohydrates and doesn’t have very much protein if you look at the dry matter basis. If you don’t know what dry matter basis is, you’ve got some homework to do.
Feed your cats wet food if you can afford it. it’s better for them and their kidneys
And if they’ll eat it.
Mine slurps up half of the gravy, and then shows absolutely no interest in the solid food.
He was a rescue, so I didn’t get decide what he got used to eating.

Try purée. It’s the only kind my cat will eat. It’s a texture thing. She doesn’t know what to do with the big chunks in regular cat food.
